Asyla is partly academic, partly universitair and self-realized female, born in 1953 in Curaçao by parents rooted in the Upper wind Islands, Creole and Dutch citizens from where she adapted their customary English language but also the artistic skills from 5 generations during time. Included is her mom's 40 years designing/dressmaking that impacted Asyla's creative life. Also, the healing part is related to both her parents.

After decades of developing, arts and rhytmical poetry her instincts started narrating to symbolic visual aspects and Prose narrative to match with her healing endeavors and turned within the Diaspora Caribbean characteristics to social/culturally reasearch resemblances. ( Barbados was first with the Gift and Craft shows during 2005 and 2008. In ways of this working life, Asyla adjusted a style independently using slight humor while advanced her teachings and joined classes in Afro Renaissance’s Expressive trends in the US in 2012. But before in 2011 and new year 2012  she first made acquaintance with Ghana and the diaspora history.

WAY BACK IN HISTORY with families to the Netherlands in '69, Asyla finished her high school and worked as secretary at Philips Industry and studied business English and Dutch. in between got married and also very much engaged in holistic studies. There after in 1979 Asyla decided to visit the Eindhoven Art school from 1979 to 1981. When  coming back in '81 and finally two kids but regretfully a divorce years later, Asyla's rescueing lead was survive in the Arts and had gained passage to settle as such a fine artist and  coaching teacher in Curaçao and Bonaire/ Many self organized solo exhibits, learning  and a third child together still gave way to re-gain her contacts in the Netherlands and in '99 and 2000 possibilities were there to the  Universities' Conceptual Art-studies in Tilburg- the Netherlands. This was accomplished on a Dutch grant.

After millennium a new approach came in Art-writing system when back in Curaçao and ART-teaching was offered at private school as free lancer. In her private life Asyla worked on Monographs and symbolic style oil paintings emerged with the Holistic part. A recognizable and significant own style was created after a somewhat tough life as sole-woman.
